I used to love those movies where the guy's ex, The One That Got Away, comes back to town, and he's unable to resist her even though he's taken. I was even dumb enough to cheer for the star-crossed lovers. Now that I've lived that particular scenario, I'm about to find out what happens to the abandoned girlfriend after the two love birds get together. Coming soon!

Claire loves her husband, Owen. Owen loves his wife Claire. The only problem? He's her sister Aubrey's best friend and their families have always been convinced that Owen and Aubrey were made for each other. It's of no consequence that Owen and Aubrey have always disagreed with this. Claire has always believed Owen and Aubrey that they are just friends. Or at least, she has until now. Aubrey has recently returned after spending several years living in another country. And she and Owen seem to be spending an awful lot of time together lately. And when Claire wakes up on Valentine's Day to an empty house, a husband who has to work late, and a post from her sister gushing about the thoughtful present she received from her best friend, Claire wonders if Owen is starting to feel like he picked the wrong sister. In a moment of hurt and insecurity, Claire makes an impulsive decision that will have far-reaching consequences on all their lives. Now Owen has to decide just how much he is willing to give up for the woman he loves. And most importantly, find a way to convince her that she was the sister who was made for him.

Overlooked, average, forgettable, quiet - a selection of the nicer words used to describe Samantha Raven. Being born into the world of drugs and crime, Sam's education in self-sufficiency began at birth. Even after being transferred into the care of the stalwart Raven household, she held tightly to the hard lessons learned throughout her childhood - such as the advantages to being underestimated, the cruel machinations of kindness, and the safety in silence. So when Henry Williams stumbled into her life, the epitome of sweet and sincere, she was inherently suspicious. And when her suspicions were confirmed through the accidental discovery of a business deal hinging on the results of a bet - Sam came to the realization that she was sick of playing the pawn. It would take a hell of a lot more than a bet to destroy this Raven - and it was past time that she became the main character of her own life, beginning with a healthy dose of revenge. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

Finn: As secretary of the Iron Skulls MC, a one-percenter club, I'm the smart one. The strategist. The man who holds the brotherhood together with laws and loyalty. Then I crash my Harley, and ER nurse Riley Morgan stitches me up without an ounce of fear. She's all sharp wit and a code of ethics that should make her run from a man like me. Instead, she stands up to the cops for me, looks past my leather cut, and sees the man beneath. She's a complication I can't afford and a temptation I can't resist. But my world has rules. To make her mine, the club demands a brutal, archaic tradition-a price that will cost her more than her dignity. Now I'm caught between the brotherhood that raised me and the woman who is redefining my soul. They say no woman is worth a war. They haven't met Riley.
